Botox Birmingham - Injectable Wrinkle Reducers

We are experts in the use of neuromodulators. We have been using wrinkle reducers for 8+ years and have taught many new physicians the technique of proper injection.

Our dermatologists use Botox to help soften lines on your face. This encompasses the lines between your eyebrows, on your forehead, adjacent to your eyes, and surrounding your mouth.

Botox is a substance that temporarily stops muscles from moving by blocking a chemical called acetylcholine. Botox is often used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles as well as for medical purposes including muscle spasms, migraines, or excessive sweating.

After Botox injections, the muscles relax. This helps make wrinkles less obvious. The effect doesn’t last long, so you may have to return for additional shots to maintain the appearance.
